LUKE—NOTE ON Luke 20:1 as Jesus was teaching. See Luke 19:47. Do these things describes Jesus’ cleansing of the temple, but also his healing and teaching in the temple. He is neither an official priestly authority nor a scribal authority. Was the baptism (that is, the ministry) of John... from heaven (that is, “from God”; Luke 15:7, Luke 15:18, Luke 15:21) or from man (that is, did it have a merely human origin; see note on Matt. 21:25–27)? The opponents have no basis on which to assess Jesus’ ministry.
